Your website is one of your most important digital assets. It is often the first place people go to learn about who you are and what you do. For charities, nonprofits, and small businesses, a well-maintained website helps build trust, communicate your mission, and convert visitors into supporters. But to keep a website secure, fast, and reliable, it needs regular maintenance โ just like a car or a building. That’s where a website care plan comes in. Our WordPress website care plans handle the technical upkeep so you can stay focused on what matters most with complete peace of mind.
What is a website care plan?
A website care plan provides ongoing support and protection for your WordPress site. It includes updating plugins, themes, and core files, malware scans, firewall protection, and reliable backups โ all the essentials to keep your site running smoothly.
Think of it as behind-the-scenes maintenance that keeps everything working, so your visitors arenโt distracted by broken links, unclickable buttons, or slow load times. Instead, they get the experience you intended: clear, accessible, and on-message.
Why do I need a website care plan?
WordPress websites require routine upkeep to core files, themes, and plugins. Without these updates, you risk:
1. Security breaches
Outdated plugins and themes are a common entry point for hackers. Without timely updates and security scans, your site could be infected with malware or hijacked, putting your usersโ data, and your reputation, at risk.
2. Broken features after plugin updates
Even when you do update plugins, conflicts between them can cause features to break, like contact forms that no longer send or donation buttons that stop working. Testing updates in a safe environment is part of what a website care plan handles for you.
3. Site crashes or downtime
A failed update or sudden conflict can take your site offline completely. Thatโs not only frustrating but can lead to lost traffic, missed opportunities, and urgent (often expensive) fixes.
4. Lost donations or conversions
If your donation form, shop, or booking system stops working, even for a short time, you risk losing conversions and trust. A care plan helps ensure critical functions work smoothly around the clock.
5. A poor user experience
Slow loading times, broken links, outdated content, and error messages all contribute to a frustrating user experience. This drives visitors away and may even hurt your SEO rankings.
Our website care plans keep your site protected, performing, and up-to-date, giving you peace of mind without having to lift a finger.
Who needs a website care plan?
Keeping a website up-to-date, functioning, and secure requires a lot of time and energy, especially if you donโt have the expertise and experience for this.
If you’re a nonprofit, charity, or small business without an in-house web team, a care plan can save you time, stress, and money. Whether you’re running a campaign, selling services, or sharing resources, a website care plan means one less thing on your list โ or rather, a lot less:
- WordPress backups
- WordPress maintenance
- Malware scans
- Firewall protection
- Brute force protection
- Uptime monitoring
Thatโs all included in our Essential Plan. Need more support? Our Professional Plan includes all of this plus content updates, bug fixes, plugin installation and more. And for extensive site changes, including new landing pages and layouts consider the Premium Plan.
